HINGING THE AILERON.

Note : e control surfaces, including the ai-

lerons, elevators, and rudder, are prehinged

with hinges installed, but the hinges are not

glued in place. It is imperative that you prop-

erly adhere the hinges in place per the steps

that follow using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing

panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing

panel. is will help ensure an equal amount

of hinge is on either side of the hinge line

when the aileron is mounted to the aileron.

3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron until

there is only a slight gap. e hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron. Re-

move the T-pins and snug the aileron against

the wing panel. A gap of 1/64” or less should

be maintained between the wing panel and

aileron.

Monocoupe 110 Special Instruction Manual.

4) Deect the aileron and completely satu-

rate each hinge with thin C/A glue. e ailer-

ons front surface should lightly contact the

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when

the hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or

less will be maintained throughout the lengh

of the aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

NOTE : e hinge is constructed of a spe-

cial material that allows the C/A to wick

or penetrate and distribute throughout

the hinge, securely bonding it to the wood

structure of the wing panel and aileron.

in CA.

5) Turn the wing panel over and deect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge, making sure that the C/A penetrates

into both the aileron and wing panel.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a pa-

per towel, remove any excess C/A glue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileron hinge area.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

8) Aer both ailerons are securely hinged,

rmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully ap-

plying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

Work the aileron up and down sev-

eral times to “work in” the hinges

and check for proper movement.

3) Use drill bit in a pin vise to drill the

mouting holes in the blocks.

4) Apply 2-3 drops of thin C/A to each

of the mounting holes. Allow the C/A to

cure without using accelerator.

5) Use dental oss to secure the connec-

tion so they cannot become unplugged.

6) Secure the servo to the aileron hatch

using Phillips screwdriver and the screws

provided with the servo.

7) Apply 1-2 drops of thin C/A to each of

the mounting tabs. Allow the C/A to cure

without using accelerator.

C/A glue

8) Remove the string from the wing at

the servo location and use the tape to at-

tach it to the servo extension lead. Pull

the lead through the wing and remove

the string.

Because the size of servos dier, you

may need to adjust the size of the precut

opening in the mount. e notch in the

sides of the mount allow the servo lead to

pass through.

1) Using a small weight (Weighted fuel

pick-up works well) and string, feed the

string through the wing as indicated.

2) Place the servo between the mounting

blocks and space it from the hatch. Use a

pencil to mark the mounting hole loca-

tions on the blocks.
